Description

A light and refreshing salad made with thin cucumber slices, creamy Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese, flavored with fresh dill and lemon.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a large bowl. If cucumbers are very watery, sprinkle a little salt, toss, and let sit for 5-10 minutes, then pat dry.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined, breaking up the cottage cheese slightly for a smooth dressing.
  3. No cooking is needed; pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss gently to coat.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors blend. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

Notes

Best consumed within 2 days for optimal crispness. If cucumbers soften, drain any excess liquid before serving.
